To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of a family with LADD syndrome in Korea. The combination of xerostomia and xerophthalmia, seen in patients with LADD syndrome, may be misdiagnosed as Sjogren syndrome. WES may be a useful clinical tool in ascertaining the affected gene in patients with suspected genetic disorders. Here, a literature review and summary of 23 case reports/series of LADD syndrome are presented, which may help to identify patients with this condition.
